Our family had an absolutely lovely stay at Blue Crab. The home was clean, warm and inviting. Correspondence with the owner was prompt and very helpful. We had an issue with cable and internet due to a recent storm, but those were resolved quickly by the owner and cable company. Home is well-appointed and well-located near town. Highly recommend!
Nice home close to town (15-20 min walk). Quick drive to Cisco and Madaket. We were two families sharing the house, adequate room for all. Could use a little TLC, a bit worn, in need of new linens, and a new grill. It’s fine, but we like to cook and it wasn’t ideal. Reasonably priced. And owner was very kind. There are two other smaller homes on the property.
We stayed in the main house which is beautiful and very well appointed. It did not lack for anything. We walked into town every day, which took about 15-20 min and was a lovely walk. Sharon is very nice and was very accommodating and responsive throughout the entire process. Definitely recommend and would stay again!
We stayed at this home with our extended family. The accommodations were perfect and any questions we had were immediately answered by the owner. We would definitely stay here again.
I hosted family members for my son’s wedding in this delightful house. It was very private and quiet with a beautiful yard. Loved drinking our morning coffee on the back porch. The scenic walk to town was about 15 minutes. A bus shuttle at the end of the road allowed everyone to make there own plans! The kitchen is very well equipped.
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Crab. The location of the house is right off the bike path, super convenient to get around to the beach, Cisco, and other parts of Nantucket, and a mile walk or ride to town. Home is comfortable and very well stocked. Awesome back porch got lots of use all times of day!
We gathered our family for a magical week in Nantucket at The Blue Crab. We have rented houses in Nantucket for more than 30 summers, and the location of this house may have been the best! We walked and biked into town , biked to Cisco Brewery, Cisco, Madaket and Ladies’ beaches, and to the Downyflake for breakfast. We loved the quiet and spent hours on the back porch.
The house was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We would happily return!
This is the perfect home for a family get away! It’s close to town with all the amenities you need at the house. The property is stunning! Sharon is easy to work with and very accommodating.
Great house, great location. Couldn't have picked a better spot.
Awesome time. Very thankful for the opportunity to stay there.

Wonderful home for our girls weekend getaway
Thank you Sharon for sharing your wonderful home with us for our Christmas Stroll girls getaway. It was just perfect for our group of eight. We had plenty of room, and room to spare. Your home felt so welcoming as soon as we walked in. Loved your décor and the Blue Crab touches throughout, which is the name for this home. We walked everyday to the downtown area. Evenings we spent around the warm and cozy fireplace drinking wine and playing games. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a base for their Nantucket vacation. Wish we were visiting during the warmer season to take advantage of the lovely yard and back porch with wicker furniture. Quick response to any questions we had. Only little glitch was figuring out the lock but the caretaker responded right away with directions. We really didn't cook much but the kitchen had everything we would have needed. We saw a doe one morning in the front yard. Hope we are able to return in the future.

Great place for vacation
I recently spent 3 nights with 7 of my friends here. It is a beautiful house and we felt right at home the minute we arrived. There was plenty of space to cook, wine, dine, and relax! Sharon was a pleasure to work with and was very attentive. We had a great time during our long weekend and hope to stay at Sharon's lovely place again! I highly recommend staying here!

About the host
Hosted by Sharon Hubbard
I bought this house new and have loved the journey of completing the property and lovely custom built house into an oasis for families. My family gathers there most special occasions and are so enamored with our special place that each family member has put down roots on Nantucket. We are all scattered around the country but still reconvene on Nantucket for holidays, birthdays and vacations.
Why they chose this property
We love the luxury of having an acre of land on an island where land is scarce. We are in the town district and can walk to town. Yet when we are at home, the serenity of the expansive grounds makes an amazing relaxing retreat.
What makes this property unique
We love the farmer's porch off the kitchen and living room with comfortable white wicker furniture. In warm weather we spend all of our time there, overseeing games in the back yard and cooking on the barbecue and grabbing a summer nap. A great place to sink in to a vacation bliss.
We also love the new lower level family room with it's own bath. It's a great space for teens, football parties or just relaxing in a quiet space.
A new large heated salt water swimming pool with spa and fire-pit is added for 2022 and will have easy flow from the summer porch.
